"I can't think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be," said Katy.

"I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together. I am honoured that NBC Olympics has chosen to use it as an anthem before and during the Rio Games."

With lyrics like, "When the fire's at my feet again. And the vultures all start circling. They're whispering, you're out of time. But still, I rise," could this be the Taylor Swift diss track the world has been waiting for, or has she chosen to 'rise' above the whole drama?
